Generally the film director, but sometimes the producer or writer. Normally stylized “A film by [name]” or “A [name] film”. Sometimes placed before a title. (E.g. “Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho”).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Principal actors (sometimes the stars’ and director’s credits will be reversed, depending on the star’s deal with the studio; in other cases, as in the Rodgers and Hammerstein films, or as in all three film versions of Show Boat, or, as in many Disney films, the title of the film will be shown before the names of the production company, its possessory credit, and its actors; sometimes, as in many of Cannon’s films, the name(s) of the principal actor(s) will be shown before the name(s) of the producer(s), i.e. “The Cannon Group presents X in a Golan-Globus production of a Y film”).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Name of the film.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Casting director. Those who are members of the Casting Society of America will have the post-nominal letters “CSA” after their name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Composer of the music<\/p>\n <\/p>\n VFX Studio name<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Costume designer<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Film Editor. Those who are members of the American Cinema Editors will have the post-nominal letters “ACE” after their name.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Production designer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Director of photography.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Producers, co-producers, executive producers, ‘also produced by’ (credited for various reasons according to contracts and personal scrutiny of the principal producer). Often, though, the name of the producer will be the second-to-last opening credit, just before the writer’s name(s) are shown (Pursuant to WGA rules, writer credits are immediately adjacent to the Director.).<\/p>\n Those who have been certified by the Producers Guild of America that they actually performed a major portion of the producing duties of the film will have the “Producers Mark” certification mark–the post-nominal letters “p.g.a.”–after their names.[a]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If based on a book or other literary work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If based on characters from a book or other media.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Person who wrote the story on which the script is based, gets “story by” credit, and the first screenplay credit, unless the script made substantial changes to the story.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Screenplay writers. The Writers Guild of America allows only three writing credits on a feature film, although teams of two are credited as one, separated on the credits by an ampersand (“X & Y”). If each works independently on the script (the most common system), they are separated by an “and”. If more than two persons worked on the screenplay, the credits may read something like “screenplay by X & Y and Z and W,” meaning that X and Y worked as a team, but Z and W worked separately.[3]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Director. The Directors Guild of America usually permits a film to list only one director, even when it is known that two or more worked on it. Exceptions are made in rare cases such as a death and subsequent replacement of the director mid-production[4] as well as for established directing teams such as the Coen brothers.[5]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Common Opening Credits Order From Wikipedia (NAME OF THE STUDIO) or (NAME OF THE STUDIO) PRESENTS Name of the studio that is distributing the film and may or may not have produced it (for example, the major film studios like… Continue Reading
